Hey, I know how passionate you are about the Club...I know you've travelled the length and breadth of the country to support them. I really respect that. I also respect you have the right to your opinions about Sam.... But I choose to compliment him on his honesty about learning the ropes, as opposed to criticizing his personality for sounding 'dull' (your words..) I agree that there are most likely better choices out there as a TM, but I doubt many of them have the same 'rider/track' knowledge that Sam has got! Sam is a legend to the sport in my 'rose-tinted' glasses and regardless of any restricted vision...I back Sam to get the best out of whatever team is assembled!

The former Wolverhampton racer was named as the Brummies’ third signing for 2024 on Friday – before 1993 World Champion Sam Ermolenko and Chris Adams were unveiled as Team Manager and Assistant Team Manager respectively, both also having strong connections with the Black Country club. Worrall said: “I think it will be brilliant having those two on board, I think it will be fantastic. “Being at Wolverhampton, I’ve seen those guys every week. So we already have a very good relationship and I’m really happy about that. “You need people in your team, especially as a manager, who have been there, done that, got the t-shirt and they need to be in a speedway rider’s mindset I believe. “You’ve got to know how to understand what’s going on with a rider if you’re not getting the best out of them and how to flip it around. “I know Sam’s era of speedway was different to modern-day speedway, but he can still advise you and point you in the right direction.” Slightly different slant to your 'post' ?

Well said! I do think that Worrall is a great personality to have in the camp....always comes across as a gentleman and professional.

Looking (guessing based on rumour/availability) like those 2 riders will be Cook/Schlein ?? Leaving approx 16 points for final 2 signings?

Good point!

May be not...but He can certainly tell him how to ride it ! Worrall will do well from listening and taking note from what Sam has to say....

Just having a discussion here... as I usually agree with most of your observations? However, I disagree with the negative feedback about Sam's interview. Sam is a realist and a born winner.... IF and I know it may be a big IF? If Sam has any say in the final 4 signings....then I'm confident that we'll have a side that's competitive...that doesn't mean we're going to be unbeatable at home etc.... But, a team that will give their all and take the meeting down to the wire! I started to get deflated by all the doom and gloom rumours etc....but having watched Sam's interview, I feel a renewed optimism!

Its starting to sound like Billy Smarts with all these has beens being banded about? Lets see who SAM recruits??? LOL Afterall, thats wot a team manager does...right?

Yes!

Yes pal... Its looking like another painful season! Im fed up !

Bham the only side to not complete? Schlein and Z Cook ... anybody???

Everybody keeps saying that Tolley deserves it to all wiork out coz of the money hes put in etc.... Thats a load of bull... nobody deserves anything... you reap wot u sow. Tolley has put his faith n his advisor .. Rogers... Say no more!

Obvious that schlein and z cook will be next signings... this will put a freeze on xmas seadon ticket sales imo! If my forcast is right, then i have no sympathy for wot will follow... Anothet shi#e season!

Great Leicester side... Bham have signed 3 riders that no one else wants.. Smells like Rogers for the 3rd season running! Will Tolley ever learn?

Lets see who Sam can persuade to ride for Bham? Anything less than Lindgren will be worrying!

Difficult to conclude any expectations, until we sign at least 2 credible riders to carry the team forward

P.s bit of an anti climax tonight.... Was expecting a No.1 signing??? I will put my faith in Sam... Unfortunately, i think he likes Zagar! maybe Ronnie Correy or Greg Hancock ?? Lol

Said it wud be Sam... gud choice! Very knowledgeable and a great motivator. Steve Worral is a nothing special signing... average...average..average Nice guy tho!

Ironically....Oxford Away first meeting

Douglas is 'amazing' around PB!

No need for apology...there's not much in it

Quite right....my bad ! (looking at the wrong stats...) Say no more!

No room left for both Becker/Douglas ???

Lawson announced at Leicester...leaving just enough room for Becker/Douglas (as expected...)

No its not .... not that it matters
